That’s right! Spacing the reviews and study materials gives the brain time to build the neural network of information! Good job sorting that out yourself!

1. Look at it and identify it.

2. Speak it if it is words or other characters. Only speak it once – immediate repetition is only seen by the brain as a single instance.

3. Write it down and put it away somewhere easily accessible.

4. Let go of the idea of forcing yourself to remember it.

5. After awhile, try recalling any of the information.

6. Review the paper, speak the data out loud again.

7. Repeat steps 4-6. Increase the time between reviews. Start with 5 minutes and work yourself up 5 minutes every time you get the majority of data right.

8. Cheer yourself on. Leave the punishment outside where it can be warmed by the sun if you forget a piece of information. That doesn’t matter – what matters is that you ARE learning.

As a linguist myself. Your site is very good. I like that you have a good question and answer forum like approach to answer any questions users may have about languages.
